Gambling arrests and busts are becoming commonplace around the United States these days. The latest bust continues a tend that has been taking place. Officers being involved in the illegal activity.

Lee Edward Morris has been an officer with the Metro Gang Unit in Salt Lake County. That fact did not stop fellow officers from raiding a card game that Morris was involved with.

Police raided 1063 E. 3300 South, and what they found was all sorts of gambling paraphernalia. They seized chips, tables, surveillance cameras, and chip holders from the location. They also arrested five people, one of which was Morris for running the game, and five more people, who were players.

The players were issued tickets and released. Morris was booked image on charges of suspicion of ongoing criminal activity. The other four were also booked on charges similar to Morris’.

The investigation continued even after officers became aware that Morris was involved in the gambling operation. They waited to make the arrests, but those arrests finally came on Thursday night.

The game allegedly was a high stakes card game. Police estimate that on some nights, over $100,000 per night was brought in by the operation. The game was not advertised, and mostly word of mouth was how information of the game was passed out.

Back in November, several different police agencies arrested twenty people in connection with what authorities called, “Operation High Roller”. Today, the indictments came down in the case.

Jack Buscemi Jr. was charged with conspiracy and money laundering, racketeering, and a third degree charge of promoting gambling. Twenty three other people were also indicted in the case.

The case stems from what authorities believe was a big time sports gambling ring that was being run out of an Atlantic City casino. The Borgata Hotel Casino was the spot, and the operation took place out of a poker room at the casino.

Buscemi is targeted as the boss of the illegal gambling ring. The operation is thought to have brought in over $60 million in bets on various sports events. That was in just a twenty month period.

Gamblers would use the Internet, and would have passwords. Calls were also taken in a wire room in Philadelphia. The ring had several employees of the Borgata that were arrested in the bust. The employees served as agents for the operation.

The following messages are to United States politicians from United States citizens who vote in state and federal elections. They are Republicans, Democrats, and Liberals. They are Christians and Jews, Buddhists and Muslims, some are even Atheists. They are United States citizens who love to play online poker, who love to spend nights gambling at online slot machines, or who like to make bets on sporting events. Above all they are people who believe in freedom. They are the people who United States politicians are supposed to represent.

The quotes below were taken directly from the Petition to Repeal the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which will be hand delivered to all United States representatives and senators in late July.

Messages from Americans living in all 50 states to US politicians:

“Our troops are sent to fight for our freedom while our elected reps are taking it from us. Please tell us again why they are dying overseas when we need to be fighting for freedom in our own country.” – Scott L., Voter from South Carolina

“As an American citizen I’ve always valued being free and living in a free society. When this was passed it really made me question weather or not I really do live in a free country. Also the way this was passed. It seemed so underhanded. They tacked it on to a bill that had nothing to do with internet gambling and a bill that was sure to pass.” – Alan B., Voter from Kansas

“It strikes me as the height of supreme arrogance for someone to tell me what I can or cannot do with my own money on my own time in the privacy of my own home…” – Joe G., Voter from Arkansas

“As you may know, Montana allows poker gaming; however until 2007 the poker rooms allowed smoking and to play, you had to deal with second hand smoke. As a result, I chose to play online.

If Poker winnings from online gaming need to be taxed, we have the technology to do it. Please repeal the act immediately.” Joseph M., Voter from Montana

“I am 44 years old. I am not a child. It is safer and more convenient for me to play poker at home than travel 100 miles to play.

Poker players are not criminals.” – Jeffrey V., Voter from Pennsylvania

“…focus you efforts in safeguarding the sites we play at and the funds we use to play.” Nick M., Voter from North Carolina

Walker County Officials File Suit Over Bingo Gambling Law

Play at Golden Casino

Live Bingo is becoming a game of the past, many people have moved on to play on the internet, and many charities have gone to bingo gaming machines to raise money.

These gaming machines, however, have come under fire by officials in Walker County, Indiana. The officials claim that the games are an illegal form of gambling, and they want the local circuit court to clarify the law for them.

The law suit that these officials have filed asks the court to clarify if electronic bingo halls are operating legally. The suit also asks whether these machines are classified as illegal slot machines, and whether they are authorized under the county’s bingo amendment.

Sheriff John Mark Tirey has said that he stopped issuing permits for charities to use these bingo machines for a period of time, but has since began issuing the permits once again after showing concern about the fairness of not issuing the licenses until a decision is made.

Walker County District Attorney Charles Baker claims that the county has no financial record of any of the charities that have received permits and that is a cause of concern for him.

“This is probably the most unregulated gambling operation in the United States. There is no requirement that anybody submit anything to any governmental agency that I’m aware of”.

While it is unlikely that any action will be taken this year to enforce the UIGEA through regulation, congressional representatives continue to endorse HR 5767, a bill that orders the Federal Reserve and the Dept. of the Treasury to cease trying to implement any rules that would govern the online gambling ban law.

Reps. Steven R. Rothman [NJ-9] and Steve Cohen [TN-9] have joined the effort to put a halt to a law, which no one in government can clearly define. Their co-sponsorship, along with 16 others, brings the total of committed congressional representatives to 18 that have joined with Rep. Barney Frank to stop the madness that the conservative right has forced upon its people.

This week, Dr. Errol Cort, Minister of Finance for the country of Antigua is in Washington to engage in talks with Susan Schwab, the United States Trade Representative and other members of the Federal government, over a disputed WTO settlement regarding Internet gambling in which Antigua was the victor.

The WTO imposed a six-month period in which the US and Antigua would sit down to negotiate an equitable settlement, that deadline is June 6. During the past six months, the US has not made any effort to talk with members of the Antiguan government regarding this issue. If there is no amicable agreement by that date, the case will go back to the WTO for a final determination and possible additional penalties imposed on the United States.

A hearing held by the House Financial Services Committee this year produced a wealth of information and new insight into the UIGEA. In testimony by members of the Fed and the Treasury, it was made clear that there is no simple way for the government to enforce this law, and the recommendations from those departments put the onus of enforcement on the private financial industry to police transactions.

Elected officials in Congress are grappling with a multitude of problems that affect our economy, security, housing and the looming recession, and see the UIGEA as not only a poorly defined, arbitrary law, but also one of violating individual rights of Americans to choose their recreational activity in the privacy of their homes.

As more congressional representatives familiarize themselves with this unfair, unenforceable law, they are joining the ranks of those who are fighting for the freedoms that America promises it citizens. It is now time for action. Concerned citizens should contact their representatives in Washington to express how strongly they feel about freedom and urge them to sign on to co-sponsor H.R. 5767.

In related news, Rep. Steve Rothman [NJ-9] has signed to co-sponsor a bill introduced by Florida Congressman Robert Wexler [FL-19] to exempt games of skill from the UIGEA , that bill H.R. 2610 has 22 co-sponsors.

Rep. Shelley Berkley [NV-1] has introduced bill H.R. 2140, which is to provide a study by the National Academy of Sciences to identify the proper response of the US to the growth of Internet gambling, that bill has seen recent co-sponsorship rise to 72, with the addition of Reps. Eliot Engel [NY-17], Ed Perlmutter [CO-7], Andre Carson [IN-7], and Tammy Baldwin [WI-2] joining the others in April.

http://velvethottub.com/be-the-best-casino-player-in-town/#respondThu, 21 Dec 2017 22:43:52 +0000http://velvethottub.com/?p=122The road to winning a casino game is not easy. The fight to be the best casino player is much more difficult. Nevertheless, you earn a reward in the test. In each step you do, you will find the road much easier to walk on heavily and more bearable to live with. The goal is to undo all gambling probabilities with what you have in mind.

First, you should know the casino area that you would like to be the best. You can not take it all. Being the best casino player does not mean you rule all games. You just have to show yourself that can order the casino game you want better. If you have a hard time deciding, have a feeling and learn how the games inside the casino are played before playing.

Second, master this casino game. Mastering the particular casino game requires knowing one’s rules and knowing how to advance your skills through the rules. You can not control the possibilities inside the casino but you can order what you already have available with what you have in your mind. When playing a casino game, knowledge is essential. Next to it is the experience. Experience the game as the particular casino game equips you with twisting and spinning game techniques.

Third, have an attitude. To be the best casino player, you must be disciplined. Learn how to self-regulate. When you win a casino game, do not boast. This is not a guarantee that you will win next time around. In addition, feelings of overwhelming can be destructive. When you loose a casino game, give yourself another chance. But play your money wisely.

Fourth, decide where to play. The casinos can house similar games and entertainment. However, the casinos are also changing in their structure, mood, and special offers. Play in a casino where you are comfortable. You can even choose to play in the casinos where your friends and relatives play to make you feel at home.

Fifth, focus. There are many distractions inside a casino. But if you want to be the best player, right-be laced. Do not play the casino game without any distractions. Always think about winning this casino game. If you want, you can first watch a game in the casino and know the distractions that a player normally encounters. This way you will be able to avoid those during your turn.

To finish, enjoy. Success and happiness must come together. As a saying goes, success achieves what you want while happiness is loving what you get. The best casino player must learn how to be happy for every failure and triumph. The casino is a game of life. And to be the best casino player, you must continue to savor what casino life has to offer. You should love what you do. Enjoy and learn from your mistakes.

It’s your time to shine. Be the best casino player in town. The above mentioned are easy to learn six steps to win a casino game.

The cause of a fire that startled the Las Vegas strip a few weeks ago has been determined by fire investigators. But the company responsible for the fire claims they did nothing wrong.

A fire ripped through the upper levels of the Monte Carlo Hotel Casino a few weeks ago. Nobody was injured in the blaze, but there is two distinctly different stories as to the cause of the fire.

A Clark County Fire Department investigation revealed that the cause of the fire was due to negligence on the part of Union Erectors, a company that was doing work at the casino.

The department says in their report that the proper precautionary measures were not taken to prevent molten material from sparking.

The company accused of being at fault has disputed the report. They claim that they had the necessary permits to be allowed to perform the welding and torch cutting that was needed for the job.

Fire investigators have disputed that claim. They believe there is no record of those permits existing. They also say the company should have been using slag mats to stop the hot metal from igniting anything. A worker should have been on lookout for potential sparks that could have started the fire, according to the departments report.

County Officials Gives OK For Casino Plans To Move Forward in Nevada

A new casino will be constructed near Carson City, Nevada. That announcement came after Douglas County officials gave their final OK to some of the modifications made to the casino plans.

Phase one and phase two of the casino construction have been approved by the Douglas County Board of Commissioners. American Vantage Cos. and Brownstone GoldTown CV have partnered in the venture that will bring the casino near Carson City.

The cost of the casino will be $125 million. It will include two phases of construction. The construction will consist of 92,000 feet of casino floor space, 1,000 slot machines, 300 hotel rooms and suites, a sports book, a six table poker room, and several dining options.

Building will begin on the new casino sometime in the second quarter of 2008. GoldTown is the name of the casino. It will be located on forty five acres in Douglas County.

The hold up for the final approval was over zoning adjustments that had to made. Also, there was the issue of the 100 foot building height that had to be addressed. Both issues have been resolved and the plans are now set to move forward with the construction of the casino.

Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick used his pro-gambling stance to help get himself elected. Now, he is trying to have three casinos licensed for gambling, but his plan is receiving heavy opposition.

House Speaker Salvatore Dimasi has been one of the main combatants to Patrick on the issue of expanded gambling. He is doing everything in his power to ensure that Patrick’s proposal is shot down.

The latest attack on the plan came this week, when Dimasi has released an analysis that contradicts the Governor. Patrick claims that the new casinos would generate $400 to $450 million in state revenue. The analysis disputes that claim.

“In reviewing the Governor’s proposal, I believe he overstates the benefits and downplays the costs of bringing casino gambling to the Commonwealth. his figures are high and the projected revenue can not be counted on,” said Representative Daniel E. Bosley, in the analysis.

A hearing is set on March 18th before the Joint Committee on Economic Development and Emerging Technologies. The battle over the casino issue has grown to be the significant one that is taking place between politicians in Massachusetts these days.

Patrick’s proposal has been picking up supporters nearly daily. The projected increase in revenue is one that can not be overlooked in these tough economic times.

Job growth is another issue that is pushing Patrick’s proposal. Th three new casinos would bring with them 30,000 construction jobs, according to Patrick.

Judge Upholds Illegal Gambling Shutdown For Slots Use in Alabama

Play Now at Rushmore Casino!

Charity bingo halls make their money by allowing customers to gamble. The proceeds are then used for various charitable causes. This practice was found to be illegal in Alabama.

The actual practice of having the charity hall bingo parlors is not the illegal part. The machines that several of these halls were using, however, were not legal.

Jefferson County Circuit Court Judge Eugene Verin made his decision about these machines on Tuesday. The ruling was that District Attorney Arthur Green, indeed had the right to shut down electronic charity bingo operations in Mulga, Brighton, and Lipscomb.

The machines that were being used had the capabilities of being upgraded to machines that could be used in casinos. That capability made the machines slots, and illegal under Alabama law.

Two groups, the city of Brighton and the VFW, Alabama chapter, had sued and asked for a ruling in court after Green shut down several bingo halls.

DownloadJAVA HTML
The Download Casinos offer the best graphics and the layout gives a more realistic look, including 3D visuals, sounds, animations. The software is free to download and is installed on your hard drive for later use.
The JAVA software does not require a download, although it can still provide graphics and options similar to a downloadable casino. A Java-compatible browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator is required to run this applet.
HTML-based software does not require any downloads either, but can not offer enhanced options and features such as sounds and animations that other casino software can do. Players like this type of software because you can play games quickly and easily.
Most online casinos do not accept players from the United States. This is because of a recent law that makes it illegal to operate an online casino inside the United States.

http://velvethottub.com/basic-knowledge-about-roulette-wheels/#respondThu, 17 Aug 2017 22:39:18 +0000http://velvethottub.com/?p=114Other of the most popular gambling games in casinos , online and offline casino are roulette and free roulette. The game is very basic. Even a person who has no game history will be able to decipher the rules of the game simply by watching the roulette procedures for a few minutes.

There is nothing simpler in the whole roulette game than the roulette wheels on which the entire game is centered. The roulette wheel amounts to three feet in diameter and about 100 pounds in weight.

Not many people may be aware of this but there are actually two kinds of roulette ie American and European roulette.

First of all, American and European roulette wheels are different from each other. Let’s focus on their similarities first. The wheel is separated into sections or “numbered pockets.” These compartments are red, black or green shaded. Each pocket is labeled with numbers 1 to 36 and divided into red and black.

The initial distinction between American and European roulette is evident in the green pockets found on roulette wheels. There are two green compartments in the American roulette, which means 0 and 00. In European roulette, there is only a single zero. These pockets look like the edge of the house. In American roulette, the edge of the house is 5.3 percent; On the other hand, the European roulette has an edge of 2.7 percent.

The numbers on the wheel are randomly unarranged but in a sequence that tries to maintain a good balance between black and red, the odd and even numbers and the high and low. If you take a closer look at the wheel, you will immediately notice that each odd number is paired with the maximum number matching success through it. The black and red numbers also rotate, as well as a pair of even numbers that rotate with a pair of odd numbers.

The two types of roulette also use chips in different ways. In American roulette the similar valued chips are determined upon purchase. In European roulette, players have the freedom to use the regular casino chips of differing values, which creates a bit of confusion for the player and more croupier. Naturally, in online roulette, the website will determine the way to bet.

Knowledge of the nature of the roulette wheel may not have any bearing on playing roulette but it may be used to develop a feeling of free association to events around the roulette table. This adds to the excitement in playing roulette. This knowledge can be used in playing online as well as free roulette.
